Happy Reading!

Arohi's POV:

It's been a while the doctors took my babies inti the ER. I can't think straight. I just hope my babies are safe.

Abhi on the other hand is not saying anything. His body is stiff and mind is lost somewhere. Knowing him well i can tell he is blaming himself for all this.

I place my head on his chest "It's not your fault. None of this is hmm so stop blaming yourself"

He sighs "If I hadn't come, this all wouldn't happen. The kids would have been safe"

I turn him to look at me "Things could have been worse if you weren't here Abhi. I myself wouldn't have found the kids on my own, I... I would have lost them" a lump forms on my throat

"No you would have found them anyhow. My wife is very strong"

"So are your babies. They are just like you, fierce and strong. They will be fine" he shakes his head.

"Our babies" my heart flutters.

I kiss his forehead and he relaxes. I smile, I still have the same effect on him as before.

The doctor came out and we followed him to his cabin. Heart beating like we just ran a marathon. Kanhaji just keep my babies.

"How are they doctor?" He asked in a trembling voice.

"They were injected with high power sedatives, which are very harmful " I gasp with fear and he stiffens beside me "But your kids" doctor chuckles "They are strong and good fighters. Even after the sedatives, their body is responding in a healthy way. Nothing to worry about"

"Then why did they faint?" I ask

"They were scared in the darkness. The adrenaline of fear was higher than the sedatives. They are fine and will be up in sometime" he smiles.

A sigh of relief leaves my mouth. Thank you kanhaji, for keeping my babies safe.

I look at Abhishek and he is still tense. I cant even imagine what he must be going through, one second got to the he is a father and the other that his kids are in danger.

I put my hand on his shoulder and he looks at me with fear. Fear of loosing his kids. Fear of loosing everything.

I blink to him in assurance and he releases a shuddered breath.

We leave doctor's cabin and go to the room where the kids are. With trembling hands he opens the door.

They both are lying on the bed with IV drips attached to their tiny hands. My heart wrenches at the sight.

A lone tears slips his eyes as he kisses their forehead with love and pain. I do the same and caress their hears.

We settle on the couch and he places his head on my lap. I caress his hairs, he turns and hugs my waist and cries. My heartbreaks at the sight.

The whole time he was acting tough and taking care of me. But what about himself? He was also breaking from inside. He already loves them without even meeting them. He is their father. His eyes speak truth better than he can.

"They are fine. See the doctor said n that they are fighters. Just like you babies ke papa" i hear his chuckle with a small sob.

"If anything would have happened to then, I'd never be able to forgive myself Aru"

"Shhhh Abhi. Nothing happened to them. Kanhaji protected them na. Stop blaming yourself"

"I couldn't protect neither my babies not my wife from the hurt. I am such a bad person" I stiffen, I know exactly what he is talking about.

"You protected your kids" I whisper.

He gets up, tears stain his face. I wipe it with the tissue. My heart hurts as everything resurfaces my mind. It hurts so much.

"But I couldn't protect my wife years ago" I gulp

"Let's not talk about it" I can't do it, not now at least.

"Aru.."

"How is Malvika and the baby. Is it a boy or a girl?" My heart twitches painfully thinking about it.

In all this I forgot about it. I forgot that Abhishek Mehra is not my husband anymore....

"There is no baby" he joins his forehead with mine,

It took me a minute to understand what he meant. When his words sink in I freeze.

"W..what?"

"Mm hm" he wipes my tears "Do you remember those images you found?" How can I forget that.

"Yes but what does it have to do with this?" he sighs.

"It was all a planned by her. I met Malvika at a business meeting. Since start she was very weird, so I avoided her. Then once I met her at a club. She tried to seduce me, I was intoxicated and I agreed. That was the first time we had um ahem" I looked away "I cleared her that it was only sex relationship and she agreed. We did it for a few times then we got married"

I can't hear anymore. But this curious part of me wants to know everything. Like a bandaid, rip it at once and for all.

"Then?" He smiles caressing my cheek

"Then I vowed to be yours forever" a chuckle with a smile "I didn't want to get married, but that doesn't mean I didn't respect our marriage. The moment I filled vermillion on your hairline, I gave myself to you and the holy bond of marriage" I suck a deep breath.

"I never met Malvika after telling her that it was over between us. But that bitch was obsessed with me, she didn't take it well. She tried to seduce me again at a business event, but I avoided her because I was already falling for you. She couldn't take the insult well and sent those pictures to Mehra Mansion to show how much of a Casanova I was. But you found it before me" I rolled my eyes  "I settled it but then she came to our home that day"

"After you left" he gulped "The need to bring out the truth intensified. With the help of Varun and Ritika I called her to Varun's house and took her blood sample for DNA test and as expected the results were negative" his smile is bittersweet.

I feel like an idiot to myself right now. How come I trusted some other person over my love. My heart knew he couldn't do this to me but my mind took over. I ruined our marriage. I took away the fatherhood from him. I kept him away from his kids.

Tears flow down my eyes and he just smiles at me with love.

This man here should fight with me for keeping his kids away from him, but he didn’t say a word to me. I promise god I will never ever leave him. I love him too much to go away from him. I can't bear the pain of living away from him anymore.

More than me the kids need him. They need a mature parent for their upbringing. They need their grandparents, their uncles and aunts.

I broke into sobs and hug him tightly. "I am sorry. I am so sorry for ruining it all. I shouldn't have left home and trusted you to clear everything"

"Shh it's okay. You were right at your place baby. You were hurt and that incident pulled the strings for you to do it. Don't say sorry"

"It hurts so much. I swear I tried to come back Abhi after knowing about the pregnancy, but the pain was too much for me to bear. I couldn't bring myself to come back. I didn't want to hurt them" I said between sobs

"Shhhh. I love you enough to let you go if it hurts you so much"

"I love you. I love you so much" I hugged him tightly.

"I love you Aru"
